Prosecutors: Paul Manafort Says He’s Being Treated Like a ‘VIP’ in Jail

(WASHINGTON) — President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, has said in monitored jail phone calls that he's being treated like a "VIP" while behind bars.

Special counsel Robert Mueller's office made the revelation in a court filing Wednesday arguing against postponing his trial in Alexandria, Virginia.

Prosecutors say Manafort has a personal telephone that he uses to prepare for trial with lawyers.
